Miss Universe Philippines Janine Tugonon’s Transformation!

taken this year during the parade of beauties and after the pageant night

I was not a big fan of 2011 Binibining Pilipinas first runner-up Janine Tugonon’s decision in joining the Binibining Pilipinas this year because I do not think that she was ready. If I’m being honest, I’d say that she’s not in good shape during the national pageant in April and I was a bit frustrated that she won the most important title of the evening. I was rooting for another candidate then and went home disappointed. ‘Lo and behold though, after seven months of rigorous training  – Janine went from being a clapper to a possible winner in this year’s Miss Universe to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 19.

Janine’s beauty reminds me of Miss Universe 1999 first runner-up Miriam Quiambao and her mannerisms are that of Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up Shamcey Supsup which I think will be a lethal combination come next month.

Here are the latest glam shots of Janine showing her new curves and queenly aura! Is Janine destined to be our country’s third Miss Universe or will she be able to achieve the success of Venus and Shamcey placing in the top five from the last two edition of the pageant? All I can do is wish her good luck and offer my prayer that she may bring honor to our country! Mabuhay ka Janine!

The Official Photos Of Nicole Schmitz For Miss International 2012!

 

Here are the official photos of Nicole Maturan Schmitz, Philippines rep to this year’s Miss International beauty pageant to be held in Okinawa, Japan on October 21. Schmitz is expected to make waves in Japan as this would be the first time since 2007 that the pageant will be held in a non-Chinese territory where some pageant fans from the Philippines theorized that the political rift between the two countries (PHL and PRC) greatly affected the chances of our previous delegates eg., Krista Kleiner and Melody Gersbach to clinch the crown.

With these initial photo releases, is Nicole destined to bring the fifth Miss International crown for the Philippines? What do you think folks?
